Setup Guide

Setting Up Your XPS Laptop

Set Up Microsoft Windows

Your Dell computer is preconfigured with the Microsoft Windows operating system. To set up

Windows for the first time, follow the instructions on the screen. These steps are mandatory

and may take some time to complete. The Windows setup screens will take you through several

procedures including accepting license agreements, setting preferences, and setting up an

Internet connection.

CAUTION: Do not interrupt the operating system’s setup process. Doing so may render

your computer unusable and you will need to reinstall the operating system.

NOTE: For optimal performance of your computer, it is recommended that you download

and install the latest BIOS and drivers for your computer available at support.dell.com.

NOTE: For more information on the operating system and features, go to
